Name: Damocles
Origin: Code Geass
Type: Sky fortress
In use by: Schneizel el Britannia
Powered by: Unknown
Destructive Capacity: Country level+ (a F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead with its limiter removed disintegrates all matter in a one hundred kilometer radius)
Durability: At least town level+ (its shields are considered invulnerable to all conventional weapons)
Material: Unknown
Performance: Unknown
Weaknesses: Unarmed except for its F.L.E.I.J.A. launcher, it must deactivate the shields around the launcher before it can fire a F.L.E.I.J.A.
Terrain: Air, space (designed to operate in at least low orbit, though Lelouch was able to send it drifting into the sun at the end of the series)
Needed Prerequisite for Use: The F.L.E.I.J.A. launcher is fired by a specific switch that is separate from the rest of the Damocles' systems
Operational Timeframe: At least ten days, likely much longer
Weaponry: At least several dozen F.L.E.I.J.A. warheads
Weapons Range: At least several hundred kilometers
Special Forms: None

| Martian Tripod as illustrated in the 1906 French edition |
Name: Tripod (to be precise the narrator described it as "monstrous tripod", also often referred as "Thing")
Origin: The War of the Worlds (H.G. Wells' original book)
Classification: Martian Warmachine
Height: About a hundred feet (~ 30 meters) when almost fully straightened
Mass: Likely a few hundred tons
Crew: A single Martian
Needed Prerequisite for Use: Unknown. Its controls are most likely difficult for any non-Martians to use.
In use by: Martians
Powered By: Unknown (the legs are apparently using artificial muscles)
Operational Timeframe: Virtually unlimited
Destructive Capacity: Wall level with its tentacle arms, small building level+ by physical ramming, large building level with the Heat Ray
Range: As far as it can see, at least 8 kilometers, the tentacles can grab objects from dozens of meters away
Performance: Faster than the eye (300+ km/h, can pass 100 yards "almost instantly", it also possess similar reactions and could evade 12-pounder cannon shells from a distance)
Terrain: Ground, waterlines (to a limited depth)
Durability: At least small building level+ (albeit the legs and the pilot window are less protected)
Material: Unknown (supposedly some sort of metal)
Lifting Strength: Class K, for the main legs, at least Class 5 for the tentacle arms
Striking Strength: Class MJ (can walk through the Shepperton Church like it was hit by a huge battering ram), at least Class KJ+ for the tentacle arms
Notable Features: All-terrain tripod walker design, super speed, strength and durability, numerous mechanical tentacle arms that can grab people or objects and even carry various weapons, cage mounted on the back to hold humans or other red-blooded beings for food, the flexible tentacle arms can position the weapons nearly anywhere around the machine, heat ray, can launch canisters of poisonous smoke that attacks blood cells and kills people quickly (effects through skin contact), spreads seeds of Red Weed on its path to gradually terraform the area
Drawbacks: Lacks CBNR protection. Destroying one leg can immobilize the machine until it's repaired. Has a relatively fragile window leading to the cockpit. Black Smoke can be blocked by water. Seems to lack sensors and can only spot targets by the pilot's own eyes.
Weaponry:
- Tentacle Arms x many (can grab people or objects and even carry weapons)
- Heat Ray x 1(shaped like a camera, shoots beams of light in the invisible spectrum)
- Black Smoke Launcher x 1-5 (it discharged cannisters containing ink-like poisonous smoke killing living beings on touch)
- Tentacle Legs x 3 (they can be effectively also used as weapons)
Notable OBD Wins:
Notable OBD Loses:
Other: This is the Tripod, or Fighting Machine, from H.G. Well's The War of the Worlds novel. Not to be confused by the Tripods from the various adaptations or any other homages to this machine.

| One of the few book illustrations depicting Martian aircraft. |
Name: Unknown (was never actually even named, not even by the narrator)
Origin: The War of the Worlds (H.G. Wells' original novel)
Type: Martian Aircraft/Flying Machine, Scouting/Anti-Infantry Bombing Unit
In use by: Martians
Powered by: Unknown
Destructive Capacity: Unknown
Weaponry: Black Smoke Cannisters (potentially other, unknown weapons)
Range: Must drop its bombs directly beneath the target
Performance: Likely supersonic+ (disappeared from the on-lookers vision on the sky under seconds)
Terrain: Air
Durability: Unknown, likely small building level (the planes were implied to have survived intact after dropping from the sky)
Material: Unknown
Needed Prerequisite for Use: Unknown, albeit its controls are likely difficult for non-Martians to use
Operational Timeframe: Unknown
Special Forms: None
Notable features: Flight, superior durability, can drop poisonous smoke bombs on the target which kills any creature with red blood
Drawbacks: May have difficulties compared under the Earth's gravity compared to Mars. The Black Smoke is blocked by large bodies of water.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Other: Martian aircraft are almost a complete enigma in H.G. Wells' novel. They have an extremely limited appearance so their true capabilities are mostly a mystery.
